I'm loving these black patent ankle boots with the Chanel inspired blocked off toe. Love how they look with tights - just imagine how cute they would look with a pair of nice dark wash skinny jeans!

I've been attracted to patent & Jade green lately & thought these green peep toe ankle boots were a perfect dark Jade green! Also like the look of all black with accents of light pink - very cute frilly mini & again with the black patent ankle boots...love!

I love the way Czech photographer Miroslav Tichy captured the female form. Initially a painter, in the late 60's he began to photograph women who were lounging at public pools or sitting in cafe's - very "street style" of today. What's amazing is that his cameras were homemade. He used old cardboard tubes, thread spools, tin cans, rubber bands, childrens glasses & junk he'd find on the street. He had no darkroom & so would developed his negatives by moonlight - in a bucket. He said that "the defects & ugliness were where the true art happened." images via: http://www.michaelhoppengallery.com/+http://www.jirisvestka.com/artist-detail/miroslav-tichy

“References for the new collection included Eduardo Paolozzi, robotic stuff & what I'm calling art deco on crack - looking at the motifs & geometry with a heightened sense of colour & line...materials new to this collection — CRYSTALLIZED™ − Swarovski Elements have been fundamental, lots of luxurious leathers, hand enamelled metal, laser cut perspex & a dash of digital print. Key pieces include the Lovejoy jacket-its a bit Poiret & a bit 90's...the embodyment of the collection...is fully made from heat pressed crystal, laser cut perspex & architectural crystallised elements. The silhouette has a focus on short, sharp shapes which retain an easy, simple line to act as foil for surface work or as luxurious pieces in their own right.” - http://www.hollyfulton.com/I say how fabulous are those envelope clutches, especially the one in the first pic! I'm obsessed with the art deco details, love the chunky necklaces - Holly was accessories designer for the Lanvin S/F '08 collection. & that jacket- it doesn't help that I love mustard yellow! Yes, I'll take that jacket to throw on over just about anything!images via: http://www.dazeddigital.com/Default.aspx
